Internationally famous photographer Annie Wang, from Taipei City, Taiwan, had decided early on that the stereotypical image of mother and kid would not work for her. “My artistic strategies are based on self-representation,” Annie said. “In the world of mothers where everything is hidden, the best way to speak out is through the strategy of self-representation, to express various parts of the self. I, as a woman and a mother, have tried to actively create my own self, instead of being passively interpreted by a male artist, as is traditional.”
Wang sees motherhood as a long and complex journey, that should not solely be about sacrifice and selflessness. She can see parallels between motherhood and her work as an artist. She creates something new and nurturing it through multiple stages of existence. “The Mother is like an artist doing her work while calling upon her own wisdom,” she explained.
Her series ‘The Mother As A Creator‘ is a beautiful attempt to represent the fusion of artist and mother, portraying her and her son in various layers as he grows up. The results are incredible and have touched many hearts around the world. Her now 18-year-old son is proud and happy to have grown together with his mother’s incredible art, and will continue to do so in the future!
